Why this workflow exists
Workflow Steps
Use Firecrawl to crawl top-ranking competitor pages for your target keywords. Extract headings, topics, and content structure to identify gaps.
Feed the keyword gaps and competitor data to OpenAI API. Prompt it to generate SEO-optimized article outlines with H2/H3 structure, target word count, and internal linking suggestions.
For each outline, call the OpenAI API to write the full article section by section. Include proper heading hierarchy, meta description, and naturally placed keywords.
Use n8n to format articles as Sanity-compatible Portable Text blocks and create draft documents via the Sanity mutation API. Tag with category and SEO metadata.
n8n sends a Slack notification with a preview link for human review. An approval button triggers the publish action and updates the sitemap.
